3. Premedication --> Maintenance of Anesthesia Flashcards
benzodiazepine drugs
midazolam (versed)
lorazepam
diazepam
benzodiazepine mechanism
binds to GABA receptor
benzodiazepine effects
anxiolysis
antegrade amnesia
anticonvulsant
minimal cardiac/resp depression
benzodiazepine reversal agents
flumazenil (Romazicon)
benzodiazepine side effects
increased apnea
increase risk of post-op cognitive dysfunction
midazolam administration
IV
PO
intranaal
midazolam IV dose
1-2mg
midazolam PO (peds)
0.3-0.7 mg/kg
up to 20mg
midazolam intranasal dose
0.2-0.5mg/kg
causes nasal burning
midazolam onset IV
rapid
20-25 secs
midazolam onset PO
10-15 min
midazolam onset intranasal
5-10 min
Pre-Induction Checklist

Drugs
Special items
most common methods for inducing pt
IV
Mask
IM (ketamine dart)
fresh gas flow (FGF)
how fast gas is flowing
(L/min)
Inspiratory concentration factors
(Fi)
Fresh gas flow
breathing circuit volume
circuit absorption of agent
when machine absorbs a high amount of agent…
the pt absorbs less agent
FGF and Fi relationship
directly proportional
FGF and circuit volume relationship
???
increase volume decrease delivery?
alveolar concentration factors
(FA)
uptake (into blood)
minute ventilation
overpressurization
we want FA to ______
increase as quickly as possible
uptake (into blood)
incr uptake decr partial pressure
uptake factors
blood:gas coefficient
pulmonary blood flow
difference in alveolar gas and blood
blood: gas coefficient
tells us how soluble an agent is in the blood
more soluble = more uptake
= slower FA increase
high B:G
slower FA increase
low B:G
faster FA increase
pulmonary blood flow
decreased CO = decreased uptake
= faster FA
agent concentration in alveolar gas vs venous blood
want higher [agent] in aveoli vs blood
generates larger driving force
N2O B:G
0.47
Iso B:G
1.4
Des B:G
0.42
Sevo B:G
0.65
minute ventilation and FA relationship
increased minute ventilation replaces anesthetic taken up into pulmonary
we want higher minute ventilation
overpressurization effect
increase amt of agent inspired (Fi)
increase Fi = increased downstream concentration
Fi vs FA
increasing Fi leads to a greater increase FA
5x Fi = 6.2x FA
augmented inflow effect
add gas to replace absorbed agent
Patm > Palveoli
sucks gas into alveoli (high – > low)
5xFi = 6.8x FA
second gas effect
soluble first gas (N2O) is given at high inspired concentrations
N2O leaves alveoli quickly
causes over pressurization of sevo
increases driving factor
==faster induction
the partial pressure of the gas left behind (sevo) is relatively greater than that of the remaining gases (over pressurization)
Arterial concentration (Fa) factors
Ventilation-Perfusion mismatch (V/Q)
ventilation-perfusion mismatch
(V/Q)
mismatched distribution of ventilation / perfusion of lung units
some receiving high ventilation
others receiving high perfusion
V/Q results in
alveolar dead space
incr deadspace
== decr induction speed
Procedures that may cause V/Q
bronchial intubation
R-L shunt
MAC
the end-tidal concentration necessary to prevent movement in 50% of pts
1.3 MAC
prevents movement in 95% of surgical pts
(1.2-1.3 MAC)
